@sandranj and many others had been confirming multiple times on this thread that they can start the naturalization process after 2 years and 9 months for vawa filers. 

So, you can go ahead with your process and May God bless you. 

Ok thanks for the info. I had read it here years ago but just wanted to makesure it’s still a rule that applies

Yeah it's still applies till date. 

I personally asked this same question two months ago and the answers from @sandranj and other experimented members was still the same. 

2 years and 9months.

hi everyone, 

 

I am a September 2018 filer (I-360 and I-485). My I-360 is still pending and going through background checks.

 

Today I received an online update on my I-360 case saying "Expedite Request Denied". I am confused because I didn't request them to expedite my case. Every 2-3 months my congressman is sending them inquiries and the most recent one was sent on Feb 22nd. 

 

Has anyone else experienced such thing? What could that be?

 

Thank you!

 

Hello I’m September 2018 filer too today I check my case online I got denied

You mean your I-360 case got denied? Did USCIS send you any letter with an explanation?

@Matu sorry to hear about it but I’m sure USCIS explains in NOID letter why they intend to deny. Many times it’s something that can be corrected with more evidence such as shared residence for residence proof etc. One of the most common reasons for denial was that people who filed it were ineligible for VAWA benefit because of previous unterminated marriages or applying 2 years post-divorce.

In your case, I hope it’s something simple that can be explained and have USCIS reverse their decision.

Hello everyone! Some of you May remember me, old time user. Had my vawa approved in 2017 four months after I filed it and got my GC in 2019. I’m back here because it’s time for me to file for my naturalization under the 3 year rule. I just wanted to confirm if the 2 year 9 month rule still applies and if it’s okay to file using that rule? @sandranj pls help me verify if I’m right. Thank you 

Yes sista! Its still 2 years 9 months. I am in the same boat as you. Hopefully we file for citizenship soon and complete this journey successfully:)

Did you received any rfe ? And rejected after that ? 
 

One of my buddy got rejected too. He received letter saying his pakistan  background check was missing. He then got background check from Pakistan consulate and appeal case. Then it was approved. Wait for letter it might be simple too.

Hi fam 

 

Is there anyway I can get legal aid for a divorce attorney? Or a non-profit divorce attorney?

Depending on the area you live, there are organizations who support victims of domestic violence in different ways (legal aid, shelter, food, counseling, etc). Try to google one in your local area
